The current directory path information is with respect to the home directory of the login user. The symbol represents
the home directory which is always at the root of the path. Each level in the directory path is separated from the previous
level with a slash (/). User can click any directory name in the path shown on the status bar to jump to a different level in
the directory. Click the “logout” button to logout or login as a different user.
The contents of current directory are listed below the status bar, with all the sub-directories, if any, followed by all the files
in this directory. For example:
As shown above, each sub-directory or file is shown as a selectable item per row, with a “selected for operation” checkbox
on the left. A sub-directory item has a directory icon ( ) and a directory name. A file item has a filename, the file size in
bytes and the file type. In the current design, the file type is simply the filename suffix, or a pair of “<>” is shown if the
filename does not have a suffix. You can select one or more items for applying an operation by clicking the corresponding
checkboxes. The available operations that can be applied are shown on the bottom of the page and may depend on the
kind of items or the number of items selected. In the following example, each operation is represented by a special icon on
the bottom line:
Also shown on the far right of the bottom line is the currently available space in bytes on the attached USB storage device,
if the option WriteEnable is true for login user.
The name of each sub-directory item is a link to navigate into that sub-directory. Clicking the link of a file item on the other
hand may show the contents of the file or download the file based on the file type and web browser functionality.
The table below listed the available file sharing operations:
Icon Operation Remarks
Eject USB -
Safely detach the USB storage device from the
OBi.
This operation is available to the admin only. Any un-
pasted Cut or Copy operation will be forgotten by the
OBi upon this operation.
We highly recommend the admin to always perform
this operation before detaching the USB device or
rebooting the OBi. If the file system on the USB
storage device is
HPS Plus or HFP+ , the admin MUST
perform this operation before detaching the USB
device. Failure to do so may cause the USB device to
become read only and may require reformatting of
the USB device
Upload File -
Upload a single file from the local host to the USB
storage device.
You should check that the size of the file to be
uploaded can fit in the available space on the USB
device. If there is already a file with the same name
in the same location, the OBi will pop up a prompt
window to ask for confirmation before overwriting
the existing file.
Create Folder -
Create a new folder with the given path name if it
does not exist already; an input box will pop up
Any intermediate directory in the given path name
will be created automatically if it does not exist
